Annwyn Beneath The Waves
Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my body; this is my inner mind; What lies beneath my eyes
Discarded years of elemental faith Beckoned to a watery embrace with love upon his face
My appetite's unchanged
Sink into dream: these enchanted depths The realm of muted wisdom
Slowly descend; trust ignites the darkness And bliss is this drowning moment
Believe me I am sorry To charm with bitter eyes; mesmerizing
Your coin and prayer can't feed the wishing well
The silence glistens on my skin; the water urges charity
I crave a grander offering My appetite's unchanged
Here I remain This is my body; this sea my inner mind
Find comfort in my arms Winds beckon above the surface; storms wane forsaken
My gaze is baptism; mesmerizing
Come to me Greet me with open arms Mesmerizing
